As Elmer Kelton notes in his afterword to this book, \"Chuck Parsons's biography is a long-delayed and much-justified tribute to Armstrong's service to Texas.\" Parsons fills in the missing details of a Ranger and rancher's life, correcting some common misconceptions and adding to the record of a legendary group of lawmen and pioneers. \". . . filled with exploits of hair-raising adventure. . . .
